Hull City boss Phil Brown feels he has the full support of chairman Adam Pearson after the refusal to sell Stephen Hunt to Wolves.

Wolves failed with a fourth bid worth £5 million on deadline day Monday.

"The chairman has done that, he's proved he wants this club to stay in the Premier League," said Brown.

"Five million is a lot for a player, especially when you just paid £2.5million for him at the start of the season.

"When it went to £5million the chairman asked me the question and I said I didn't want to sell him at all, that's the right kind of message to send to everybody."
